This is a Headgum podcast. Pretty Little Episode. Always a joy to hear it. Yes, it is. Welcome to our Pretty Little Episode. I'm Fortune Feemester. I'm May Martin. And here we are. Here we are,
May and I are being pretty little lady and pretty little lady. Yeah, here to answer your questions. Are you having a good day? You've been working, huh? Yeah, I've been working and I had to say a speech. It's big drama. Like, hey, I got the stuff so you can escape and then I had to go, I'll leave, I'll leave you my car. If you can get, first of all, I don't know how to drive. That feels insane to say that is still wild to me. Right? Never driven a car except
nine lessons. So I go, I'll leave you my car. And I think the line was like, if you can get yourself out of the building, then it goes straight up one mile past the pond. There's a dirt road. But it was just so many details and something snapped in my brain where I was like, I'd be like, if you can get yourself an iPad, I can. And that was it. Oh, man, I couldn't get like, yeah, the crew is getting across those long days where the crew is like,
just get the line. Yeah, no one's giggling with me. How are you? What did you do today? Um, I'm just catching up on being gone forever. I'm answering emails. It's not very exciting. Sketchling things because my, my special will be coming out later on this year. So I'm gearing up for, for that. I want them to project it on the side of the Empire State Building.
Yeah, no complaints here. Why not? Yeah, right? I'm not revealing it until they put out whatever trailer at whatever point, but I have a pretty cool outfit that I'm excited about. Really? And I was inspired by our podcasts. No way. Yeah. I wanted to keep it handsome. Oh boy. So you're in the nude. I'm in the nude. So people might be tuning out pretty quickly. Oh my god. It's really stressful choosing what outfits you're going
to wear for things like that to be immortalized in. Very stressful because these clips will haunt me for many years to come if I don't like it. Yeah, you have to live with it. I know I still feel pretty good about my choice. Yeah, great. It's definitely a bold one. I mean, I'm picturing crazy stuff. I don't have a bold one. I'm picturing like, um, no, I don't want to, I don't want to get it wrong. I'm picturing like a feathered kind
of liberati, um, sequin silver pearl, like a little John situation. Yes, yes. Maybe my next special. It's not quite that bold. Okay. But it's very colorful. So yeah, I'm just enjoying the chillness of working and being busy, but being at home, which is snuggled up like a bug in a rug. Well, I'm a cancer. So being at home is my happy place. What's that? I said, don't say that about yourself, but I'm crazy to say I'm a cancer. It is
a weird sign to have. Yeah, but that cancer, very emotional. And I don't think of you that way. I don't think of you as like erratic. Yeah, I'm definitely not erratic, but I will get emotional out of nowhere. Like when we were wrapping a food bar, and you know, it's a crazy action comedy series. It's not like an emotional journey. And we were in Prague and we like, all put our arms around each other when they wrapped us and we like jumped
up and down and had this cute moment. And then we walked into the green room area and Arnold had left. And the four of us ended up putting our arms around each other again. And we were like looking at each other in the eye, very like real and like vulnerable. And we just started saying like really nice things to each other. Oh, man. So just special experience. And I started crying. That's so nice. I did not expect that. So yeah, the
emotional side is definitely in here. The rivers run deep. And you got me. You got to let them flow sometimes. That's right. I like that. Are you going to cry right now? Do you think I have once in a blue moon, cried out of podcasts out of nowhere. So you just never know. Oh my God. Well, I feel like we all cried maybe during the episode where your mom asked a question. I feel like we all thought that was pretty sweet. That was
pretty sweet. I might have had like a little sometimes I just get misty. Yeah. Yeah. But God, I want it to be exciting when I go full blown emotional. It's going to be so exciting. Have you ever had to cry on camera and you just can't squeeze water? Yeah. I'm not going to lie. I do use the, um, what's the trick? Tear stick. Yeah. Yeah. Like the mental. Give it to me. I'm not moral. I know. And I, I'm just too embarrassed to do it in front of other
actors. So yeah. I, and then sometimes I go to the makeup person. I go, can I get a little tearster? And then they make something they go, they're so loud. They go, oh, you want tear stick? I'm like, shh, please. And then I don't even know that this is induced by an icy hot type substance under my eye. I know. I know. When I was making feel good, I told my mom, I ordered a tear stick on Amazon to practice. And my mom was like, Tom Cruise never
would use his tear stick. I was like, first of all, how do you know that? So I can do it. Yeah. We don't know that. Yeah. I think there's nothing wrong with it. Whatever it takes to get where we need to go, especially if you're doing it like 15 times in a row over a bunch of hours. Like, I know. I will say I, in my last scene of the Mindy project with my on screen brother played by Garrett Dillacont. I started sobbing and they didn't
use any of it. Oh my god. They were like, that's too much. This is a, this is still sitcom. I was like, and I needed, needed nothing. I was just sad for the experience to be ending and I, and I love Garrett. He's so lovely. And I just sobbing. I'm obsessed with that. I love how he does any of it. And me, my, bring me my army. I, that's really funny. Like, a gosh. I seen that's not that emotional and you're not afraid. I'm crying about something
else obviously. That's why I'm a cancer. Yeah. That's why you're a cancer. Yeah. And a dancer. A cancer and a dancer. Yeah. Well, I'm excited to dig into some questions with you today. Me too. It's always, it's always such a mixed bag. We never know we're gonna get. going to get. I know. And I like to hear what people are thinking about. And what they specifically think we should weigh in on. Yes. Should we hear our first question? Yeah. Hey, Hansens, this is
Nadine from Nashville. Assuming that we happened upon post-apocalyptic times, what would your job be to help your community to, to, to, uh, heartache, to participate, to give back, to be useful? Would you do the cooking? Would you garden? Are you a builder? Can you work on any mechanical things? And, and even if you can't do any of those things, what is something that you think would be interesting? As she was listing those things, I was like, I don't think we can do any of those
things. I was like, can't do that. Can't do that. Can't do that. Can't do that. Well, it made me wonder if you are handy. Me personally? Because I know I'm not. Or so are you? I sort of in that like vaguely like ADHD way, if I, if I fixate on a task and I have the instructions, I can enjoy it and do it. But no, I'm not like instinctively handy at all. Like I would, I need YouTube, I need instructions. And no, not handy at all. Can't do anything. Can't, can't drive.
So I feel like we're going to have to like hitchhike your way out of this. I know. And then the worst part is I'm also, and maybe we both share this quote, like we're, I think we're like covert leaders. Like I, I have opinions, like I've strong opinions and I want to control things, but I actually, I won't have many practical skills to offer, but I'm going to be like saying, yes, we can be the cult leader who's not doing the work. Exactly.
We're telling everybody what they need to do. Yeah, I'm good at being like, I'm chill for a while, and then I see what needs to be done. I'm like, oh wait, get, it can't be actually need to be doing this. Yes, you're a big picture, thinker. Like yeah, like, if I, when I do escape rooms and stuff, often I'm like, okay, you guys focus on this area, then you're going to do this. And then I realize I haven't found a single clue. But I sort of, but you're the leader. Yeah. You're bringing
out other people's skills to help save all of us. And you do kind of need someone to step into that role. But then I would you go down with a ship if you were a captain on a sinking ship. I mean, you've been considering it. No way. Yeah, I'm going to, I got to jump out of the boat. What are we doing here? Yeah, get out of there. Get out of there. I mean, the question, is it from Nadine, right? Nadine and Nashville. It makes me think of my actual home state,
right now. I know we said like apocalyptic as if, you know, let's pretend, but it feels very apocalyptic in the Western part of my home state in North Carolina. They got hit by the hurricane. And just decimated so many of those areas. And it made me think like what if I were there, what would I be doing to help? And I think you're right. Even there, I think I would just be using my voice and platform to help. Yeah. Like, I know you need this and you need this and
this person has this and that person has this. But I wouldn't be able to like get the chainsaw and get the trees out of the road. I'm rescue the dog from the tree. It feels helpless in this position to. Yeah. So I've just been posting about where to donate money and how to help people on the ground that are helping the people there get through this. But I know they're going to be going through it for a while. I think that's very valuable though, because I think it can be
overwhelming, not knowing where to donate or what resources are like being paranoid. The money won't get this. I think having someone direct you to where to do this. I had so many people be like, thank you for because I was asking my friends, who's on the ground? Who's actually doing things? You know, because you don't eat sometimes you, yeah, when you donate money, you're like, does that go to where it needs to go? I don't know. And they were like, these are the places. So
so many people text me and wrote me like, oh my god, thank you. I didn't know where to send money and this is so helpful. So even if it helped a teensy bit, if, if me not having any skills other than directing people that's something. So that's my contribution. It is crazy. Like you're saying, all these sort of hypothetical apocalypse conversations feel very pressing right now. Like the world's on fire. Yeah. After the pandemic, I was like, oh, anything can happen.
Well, you know, not to get onto my driver Joe again, and I don't want to open up that. Oh no. Can of worms. You go into the curse. What are we doing here? We're bringing a big. Well, I want to save part of it for the proper episode. But I do want to say Joe's back on the job, right? He's back. Okay. So he's back on the job out of nowhere. I go out of my house. It's five in the morning. It's still dark outside. I think my other driver's going to pick me up.
And there's Joey's back. He's arrived and drilled to see him lots to discuss about the bear portal and stuff. He's really freaked out by how intense I am about this. We get it. You're busy. If you own a home, there's constantly a list of tasks that need doing. Something you may have been putting off is getting the best rate on your home insurance. All state makes it easy to switch your home insurance policy and save money doing it.
So get it done today. Check all state first and you could save $574 on your home insurance. No hassle. Just savings. You're in good hands with all state, not available in every state. Based on the national average annual savings for new home insurance customers surveyed in 2023, who switched to all state and reported savings savings. Very. You definitely took it a lot more seriously than I think he ever would have anticipated.
A hundred percent. Yeah. I mean, today just really casually goes to hear they found a spaceship size of a city. It's approaching Earth. I have no watch out. Phil Joe not to be opening these portals with you. He said I swear to God they found a spate. The James Webb telescope saw a spate, a spaceship, the size of a city that's approaching Earth. To be honest, I didn't even Google it because I thought wow. Okay. Yeah, just take Joe for his word. Yeah. Let's hear what Nadine said.
Yeah. My answer is about a year ago I got into blacksmithing to a couple of beginning classes from a local farmer. And it's been really neat so far. I certainly have a lot more to learn, but it's something that interests me and I'm not terrible at. Wow. Come on. That's a that's a cool skill. Very cool. And so I'm imagining also like let's say there's zombies. So everybody's there's like 20 people hold up in a farmhouse somewhere. Yeah. People you're going
to be needing to melt down what you got. Sure. Sure. Smith it into someone else. That's this is how bad we are at survival. We're going to have to melt that and smith it down, right? Yeah. To spit that down. Turn the middle into a new metal. Nadine. Oh, well, now that we're entering into some apocalyptic times, I think all of us are going to have to learn these kind of what seems like antiquated skills. Oh man. We need to bring them back. So
Nadine's ahead of the curb. Dude, basic stuff. I got to learn like driving and we need to learn a job for now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And grow some veg and things like that. But yeah. Also, there was this Arctic explorer who he was stranded in the ice up in Antarctica or wherever the fuck and he caught appendicitis and he was going to die. He had to operate on himself and remove his own appendix. He did it and he survived. And he was he would
just be dead. I would be dead. Of course, we would be dead, mate. Yeah. Man, you could get this is why I don't go on adventures. Right. And as the band said, the female pop group, one of the greatest of all time, TLC. Yeah. Don't go chase in waterfalls. Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. These are words I live by my friend. Really? You're like, I have my. Yes. I don't go chase in waterfalls. So you don't want to go chase a waterfall with me? No, literally or figuratively.
Well, thank you, Nadine. Thanks, Nadine. Awesome question. Let's see who else has something for us. Hey, handsome icons. It's Owen from Boston. I worked at a summer camp and my question for you is one that one of my campers asked me, would you rather be an apple or a bandaid? So excited to hear your answers. That's amazing. I can't my counselor. If he was my camp counselor, my childhood would have been a lot happier. Like what? I don't want to camp counselors.
I did and I yearned for them. But if Owen was my camp counselor, I feel like we would have had a blast. Okay, Apple or Bandaid fortune. It's the age old question. Boy, I think I would want to be a bandaid because the bandaid would last longer and would stay on until and help when needed. Yeah, at some point it would I would be thrown away. But I'd be there for at least a couple days, whereas an apple would provide nourishment for just a little short time and then that's it.
Yeah, I mean, if you're going by longevity, then the plastic will take a while to to grade and break down in a landfill. Like if you want to just be here as long as possible, I like the helpfulness of it. I don't know, it's grossing me out the flesh tone and the kind of, like the different components, the idea of being on a wound is not good. But if you could make sure you were nellies bandaid, remember Nellie had a little bandaid on his face, like an aesthetic
choice bandaid, that could be good. Yeah, but I think I'm going to Apple because you ever carve a face in one and then you let it shrivel and it turns into old man. I don't think I've ever done that. Is that a Canadian thing Thomas and carve a face into the apple and then you leave it out and it shrivels and it looks like a little Yoda. I definitely did that when I was a kid. Hey, okay, maybe you Canadians were just carving your fruits over there. I guess so with our bags
at milk and should we hear what Owen has to say? Let's do it. My answer is that I would rather be a bandaid. You get to chill with all your favorite family and friends in this like close to like a club box thing. And then you get to live your life being of use, helping someone with their boo boo and then no one is happy to see you go when you finally do pass. I would love to be bandaid. I love the idea that bandids are in a nightclub box with all their loved ones.
Just kidding. Pick me. Pick me. Yeah. Now every time I close any box, I'm going to imagine a nightclub happens inside. I wonder what kind of camp it is if it's like a quintessential summer camp with these. I like that kids are still coming up with thumb would you rather? The practical part of me is like, I don't want to be either. That's the tag answer. The tag answer. Why do I have to be either? Yeah. If you were here. Who cares? Why would I be an apple or a bandaid?
Let's get one more question. Hi, May, Fortune and TIG. My favs. This is Jules and this isn't so much a question as it is an answer to one of your questions that you had a few podcasts ago when you were talking about playing live music and you wondered what you should name your band and didn't really come up with a name besides the handsome band. I think you guys should call your band Bansum. Bansum. Oh my god. I'm pausing for applause. All right, well, I love you guys.
Hi. Oh my god. Bansum. I didn't even occur to me. Jules. Also classic. You didn't really come up with an answer there, but if I had a nickel. Oh my god. Bansum. The handsome band is pretty good because it just gets right to the point. Yeah, but to me, the handsome band is like we're playing banjos. We're like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Bansum could be it could be like a kind of the realm of like boy genius. Oh, okay. I was thinking more like death metal.
Oh, death metal. Yeah, three was gonna play death metal. Yeah, scream rock. Now we know you're on guitar, right? Yeah, and vocals. Yeah, takes our drums. And you're on vocals. I'm on vocals and like trying to. Yep. And Thomas is bass or keyboard. Do you play key? Thomas learned to play piano, please? Yeah, put on the list. And no, let us put on the list for yourself. And a Lannis Morse is backup vocals. And now you're finally singing with a Lannis. Exactly. See all your dreams have come true,
May? I can imagine the word bansum like written on a drum, you know, the way they write it on the drum like that. Yeah. I'm already thinking about the merch possibilities. It does sort of remind me of the band Hanson a little bit. Of course. So we just have to make sure we enunciate when we say our bands name. We're not going to get away from that comparison anyway, though, because we're three gorgeous blonde brothers. Yeah, we are. And we do have a hit song called Oombaup. Exactly. So
so losing battle. But instead of Oombaup, Oombaup, we're like Oombaup. Oombaup. Oombaup. How we slightly alter that. Yeah, yeah. It might not hold up in court, but it's becoming a little scat jazzy. Yeah, because although I know you want to go into death metal rock, I feel like we're going to end up folksy. I think so too. Well, we might, I mean, you know, that song raise a little hell. Raise a little hell. Raise a little, I think that's Canadian too. Or like journey. I could see
us. I love journey. I know. Yeah, like like a big kind of. Yeah, that's what I want. Let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, our story is we started as a podcast in our band. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a journey. We take it. Yeah. Well, I appreciate this feedback because you might have opened the whole new world for us, which is another one of our hit songs. A whole new world. Yeah. And thank you very much for putting the band back on the radar here. We got to get,
yeah, we got to get cracking. We have it. It's slide. And now it's back up to the top of the list. Yeah, exactly. Well, thank you, everybody who sent in your questions. Please keep sending them in. We are loving them. You can submit your questions to speakpipe.com slash handsome. That's right. You could hear yourself on a pretty little episode asking the bansomes. A question. And nothing and nothing weird because because Thomas is going to listen to them first and screen them.
Yeah. If you're been weird, Thomas is the one who's going to hear it. Unless he's feeling cheeky. And then we will also hear it. That's true. Well, may it's been a pleasure. It's always a pleasure. Thank you. Chat with my friend. Chat with my friend on a pretty little app. Thank you guys for turning into this week's episode. Don't forget to check out our handsome, full episode next Tuesday. Tell your friends get some merch. And yeah, you guys are the best.
